PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Stacy on Food Network Star was on Restaurant Impossible. Unlike a lot of the folks who appear on that show, she was sweet, gracious, and all around lovely. Mr. B and I have been cheering for her since we found out she was going to be on the show.

On HGTV Star, I have been pleasantly surprised by Brooks. He looks so wild that I was expecting him to be overly wacky in his choices. And when he said he taught others, I was really concerned. But I'm really liking him so far. I thought the stripes he did for the rental apartment were terrific, and it was a no-brainer that he and Tiffany won that challenge. I hope he can improve on the camera challenges, because I really like his style. But hats off to Jerebai for pulling off the backsplash in his kitchen.

I have been mocking the editing, though, because both shows usually give the first confessional to the one soon to go. And HGTV Star still foreshadows ousters for self-proclaimed experts. In the loft challenge, I knew Jessie was a goner as soon as she pointed out how she has done so may lofts that she's going to do a terrific job.

I'm pretty sure the carpenter/handy(wo)man who executed Brooks' nose-cone chair was Cija. I've seen her on Fleamarket Flip and she also was the assistant for the (winning) sorority team last week. I think I'm a fan. I'd like to see more of her.

I liked the idea of a bus challenge. I wish there had been more of a focus on functionality, but I'm also intrigued by the Tiny House movement, and I like the idea of a converted bus for that purpose.

Well, they canned Stacey. I was kind of surprised. I think she'd do well as a host, better than Pie Guy (who has a great premise but needs a speech coach to teach him enunciation!) or Sins Guy (who seems too shy in front of the camera).

OTOH, it made my choice easy. I gave all my votes to Damaris. She's got a fun personality and an interesting show idea. Hers is the only show I'd actually watch.

I too was surprised at the Russell over Stacey pick. I think this was the weakest group we've ever had. And I think it will be between Damaris & Rodney. The pilot was the first of Rodney's that I really enjoyed - perhaps maybe even more than Damaris.

I have no interest at all in Russell or his sins.

Speaking of Russell, did anyone else think that Suzie was totally captivated by him during the pitch? I think the "sin" thing grabbed her, and I don't think food was on her mind at all.

Also, whatever happened to Justin from last year? That show never happened.

Russell is beyond creepy and reminded me of immature twits who think they can get by on charm and eyebrow wiggling. Unfortunately, Rodney just couldn't put together enough content to build a show (although I love me some pie and could eat it daily). Rodney also seemed to lack cooking chops. Glad Damaris won.
